Interests & Other

I pride myself in taking my passion for data science and statistics outside of my role at work and my time in academia into my personal life. I am a keen learner and I am constantly researching and exploring multiple fields to innovate the way I operate. I take part in TidyTuesday weekly and I am currently learning to improve my Python and Power BI skills.

Aside from my interest in statistics, I am an avid sportsman. I have captained teams for both snooker and football throughout my entire life, and I am currently in pursuit of football coaching badges. My deep interest of football has driven me to explore it from a statistical point of view and perform analytics on data wherever possible.
